Investigating the genetic basis of susceptibility to amoebic gill disease and idiopathic gill lesions in Atlantic salmon populations using field data
Our results provide valuable insight into the genetic architecture of susceptibility to AGD and IGL, suggesting that both traits may be partly under the same genetic control. Future studies are warranted, especially on the genetic correlation between AGD and IGL.
